Why and how to move away from Meta
*1. Structure
e.g. Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products. e.g. Meta report shows the company causes far more emissions than it can cover with renewable energy
Unfortunately, A lot of people use Meta products. That said, The world uses Meta products for some positive functions.
While the ultimate goal is to abolish Meta as an organisation, there's plenty of scope in that for selective replacement of the services it offers. So it's not just a case of getting rid of Meta and its products.
We should resist, regulate and recode Meta.
A lot of it should be recoded. (Tactics of digital prefiguration) See Libre software alternatives to Meta products for some examples. State / municipal support via public funding for digital infrastructure and institutions, public-commons partnerships. State / municipal support for open standards.
There may need to be some intermediary regulation to break it down. (Tactics of digital reform)
In the meantime, we'll need to resist a lot of its practises. (Tactics of digital resistance) Digital resistance of Meta products.
